Missed call from four four two magazine

They spoke to my wife but wouldn't tell her what it was about and said they'd call back in an hour.

I wonder whether it's a "deal" on a magazine subscription or a competition win! :D

    I'm not surprised, you wouldn't be ringing them back :D.

    Good luck though, hope it isn't sales.

    I got one last week wanting to offer me cheap subscription for 442 mag. They must love winding people up at the start of the call by mentioning a competition that you entered.
    Wins:
    Mar 23 - Ridge Wallet
    Mar 23 - Blackpool family trip
    Dec - Klean Kanteen water bottle
    Nov - TWS1 Edifier headphones
  • Same got a phone call from them started talking about the competition I entered saying it lots of times making feel I was going to be told i'd won only to start going on about there mag and trying to get me to sign up, nicely told them i'm not interested.
  • Got same phone call today offering cheap subscription? Only problem I checked on line and it works out cheaper than price they were offering.:(

    Yep - sales call. When I said I wasn't actually interested in football he reeled off a list of other mags that as a "runner up" I could have a special offer on! I politely declined.
